Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare vs Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare
Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare is the perfect game for players who enjoys the craziness in the whimsical Plants vs Zombies but longed for third-person, multiplayer battles. Unlike its tower-defense origins, this incredible spin-off transcends its humble beginnings and puts you into the shoes, or roots, of a zombie or a plant of your choice and throws you right into a huge battlefield where either the defenders (the plants) or the invaders (the zombies) will win.There are plenty of fun game modes, such as stealing the other team's tacos, to play in addition to the usual MMO shooter modes which can house up to 24-players in total, as well as entertaining 4-player co-op matches. Aside from an amazing gameplay, the game even boasts of a wide range of customizations, allowing you to create the goofiest zombie or plant around!
Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare is a great spin-off that brought a primarily single-player game series into the multiplayer arena... and it did so quite successfully, so much so that the spin-off has a sequel of its own!
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist is the latest game under the Splinter Cell franchise and it is possibly the best one yet. As opposed to the more disappointing Conviction, Blacklist manages to combine the best of both the original and Conviction titles and added in all the features that players have complained the sequel lacked, including actual stealth-based gameplay where you can avoid an enemy instead of forcing you to engage him, as well as performing non-lethal takedowns.As usual, you'll have access to an arsenal of impressive gadgets which does make your job a whole lot easier, but this time around, certain unique enemies are able to counter your devices, forcing you to come up with new alternative plans rather than simply sticking to the "distract-and-take out" routine. This is very unlike Conviction where the gadgets had made the game too easy.
The storyline is also pretty good since the protagonist, Sam Fisher, now has free reign to do what it takes to take down a group of terrorists called The Engineers and their ultimate terror attack plan to launch escalating attacks on US interests around the world, codenamed Blacklist. Your mission? Flush out their leader and take him down.
Aside fromt he campaing, the game has cooperative missions that you can play with friends online as well. However, the servers have long since been taken down and thus, you either have to play those coop missions alone - it's possible, thankfully - or you can try LAN.
